NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1917 



C.& J .Finest Double Named Hyacinths 



The Definition of a Bulb 



A bulb is really an entire blooming plant tele- 

 scoped into a convenient package where it will not 

 grow until given certain favorable conditions. 

 Furthermore, inside of the bulb are many thickened 

 scales which contain enough stored food to develop 

 the blooms. Because of this nourishment, such 

 bulbs as Hyacinths, Paper-white Narcissi, and Chi- 

 nese Sacred Lilies may be grown in water if desired, 

 the water containing practically no plant food. The 

 whole growing series is supported by food in storage.
